KTCabin was a perfect venue for our friends and family to celebrate a milestone birthday. The owners have put a lot of care and pride in this property with high-quality finishes and thoughtful inclusions and it exceeded everyone's expectations.
Both baths have been recently updated with tile surround and glass fronts. The upstairs bath is particularly special with dual heads and body spray options– straight out of a high-end spa. There were full dispensers of bod- soap, conditioner, and shampoo available in the showers. Plenty of bath towels are provided and very appropriate for a rental property, bring your own if you are particular or want the full spa experience.
Speaking of baths, the bike wash station outside was very helpful in keeping our bikes clean during the weekend that had some rain. The rear overhang of the roof is generous enough to keep bikes dry in light to moderate showers, and there is also the locking bike shed available as well.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and make meals for our large group. There is a second fridge downstairs in the utility room for overflow food. Having access to the washer and dryer was very helpful to keep our riding gear clean and dry.
Rt114 is a bit busier than one might think so there is some road noise but the house is set back far enough from the road and the large birch tree in front break up the view and noise a bit.
The large and level backyard would allow for any number of yard games to be played and we used the firepit 2 of 3 nights as well.
With so many great trails at KT it is easy to spend a lot of time in the saddle. I'd recommend riders get up and at'em in the AM in order to fully enjoy all the cabin has to offer in the late afternoon. It's too nice to just be a bunkhouse.
Folks in the party were already talking about a winter weekend as we left and it seems the house would work just as well for winter fun as it does in the summer.*
We were very happy with the cabin and the value of this property. Would rent again and recommend highly to others.
*I skied Burke for the first time last winter and found it to be a great mountain, with nice vertical and pitch but without the crowds of VTs major resorts. Jay Peak is my favorite, the KT Cabin would make a great home base to ski both of these classic VT ski areas.
